ONSTED — Last year, the Onsted boys soccer team fell in a heartbreaker to Michigan Center in the MHSAA Division 3 boys soccer district championship.

However, the Wildcats would not let this repeat itself.

On Wednesday evening, the two teams met again as Onsted got redemption from last season.

The Wildcats (12-10) were able to dominate offensively and would ultimately shutout the Cardinals, 3-0 and finally be able to raise a district trophy for the first time since 2009.

Onsted scored two goals in the first half, followed by a late second half goal.

Coach Thoughts

Matthew Zellen, Onsted: It’s exciting. These seniors didn’t win any matches their freshman year. When I came here, we won four, last year we won twelve, and lost to Michigan Center last year. So it’s a lot of redemption for these boys, a lot of hard work, and I’m so proud of them.
